Question 24

Question

During an internal audit, you realized that one of your Cloud SQL for MySQL instances does not have
high availability (HA) enabled. You want to follow Google-recommended practices to enable HA on
your existing instance. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

Use the gcloud instances patch command to update your existing Cloud SQL for MySQL instance.

Pretty sure it's C. You can patch an existing Cloud SQL instance with the gcloud command to turn on HA, which keeps downtime super low. Creating a new instance (A/B) is overkill for this. Anyone disagree?

Jamie Q. · Answer

A might be right too. Similar practice questions and the official docs mention migration steps using export/import if patch isn’t possible.

Vikram W. · Answer

C every time for this. gcloud patch is the right approach here, not migrating or shutting down.

Rowan R. · Answer

C tbh. Official study guide and practice labs both mention patching with gcloud for this kind of HA upgrade, not full migration.

Rowan U. · Answer

Its C, you don’t need to create a new instance like A or B wants you to.
